If God speaks to you through Psalm 14, record what He said in Doxa and come back to it.
For the choirmaster. Of David.
The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt; their acts are vile. There is no one who does good.
There is no one righteous, not even one
“As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one.”
Read Romans 3:10›'There is no one righteous, not even one.' Paul quotes David's observation about humanity — not to condemn, but to set up the grace that follows.
“As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one.”
Read Romans 3:10›The LORD looks down from heaven upon the sons of men to see if any understand, if any seek God.
There is no one who understands, no one who seeks God
“There is no one who understands, no one who seeks God.”
Read Romans 3:11›All have turned away, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.
All have turned away, they have together become worthless
“All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.””
Read Romans 3:12›Will the workers of iniquity never learn? They devour my people like bread; they refuse to call upon the LORD.
There they are, overwhelmed with dread, for God is in the company of the righteous.
You sinners frustrate the plans of the oppressed, yet the LORD is their shelter.
Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come from Zion! When the LORD restores His captive people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad!
